OK, you sent me to chatgpt. I asked given the pathways out of a cult like belief system (MAGA specifically) what is the violence risk and the target.

"Your intuition is correct: betrayal is the most dangerous exit path—not because it de-radicalizes, but because it redirects radicalism. Those betrayed and armed are volatile, and some will lash out."

(Your here refers to your post).

Thank you for your post.

well... it was not really necessary to interrogate one AI

it is well documented in history ad it is a normal psicological response

specially in a #cult based on a 'person' as #MAGA is
As much they adore him now they will hate him more then
Trump created millions of adoring fanatic ​​'disciples'
who will become millions of angry fanatics
and they will want their 'pound of flesh'
Not only from Trump but also from politicians who supported him.

Ha, l'm an engineer not a historian.

My reading focus is on irrationality in belief. Most docs and experiments are along the lines of "what are they thinking". The victims coming out of it isn't really discussed.

What do you think of my conclusion given what ChatGPT pointed me to?

Us liberals should hope for MAGA leaders betrayal destruction dynamic is faster than MAGA's narrative substitution cohesion dynamic.

If the destruction dynamic wins, we suffer less violence.

Well... AI analysis is correct.
#Maga politicians (and the 'supreme leader') have already betrayed
repeatedly their supporters
they did it without even trying to hide it
confident that the 'grasp' the great leader' has on his follower will keep them under control.
But there is always a 'breaking point'
Usually are not 'major events' to create the 'breaking'
often are small events that then explode
in a vendicative follower fury 'To wash shame in the dictator's blood'
